The Tulip 🌷boasts a large sun trap garden area plus 3 internal bar areas including our sports bar area featuring a pool table, 2 dart boards, 5 TV screens and our famous nostalgia juke box. The Tulip is a local Gray & Sons pub situated in the heart of Old Springfield with a rich history dating back to the 18th Century. The current Landlord & Landlady, Lee and Lindsey have run the pub since March 2

025 and in that time have made many improvements, including the introduction of Sky and TNT Sports and a new daily food menu. Ensuring that the traditional side of the pub is preserved, The Tulip boasts 3 main bars to cater for all ages. The Saloon bar is the oldest part of the building, with wooden beams and a traditional fire place providing the perfect atmosphere for those more intimate or quieter catch up's. The In-between Lounge area has leather chairs and low level lighting, perfect for a few beers or glasses of wine with friends. The main sports bar is a very large open area which has been decorated to a high standard and boasts a state of the art sound and entertainment system, a Nostaliga Jukebox, Pool table and 2 Dartboards. We also offer DJ services and catering for all special occasions. Food is available Monday-Thursday 12 noon till 3pm and 5pm till 8pm, Friday and Saturday 12 noon till 3pm and 12 noon till 6pm Sundays. We also host Embers Wood Fired Pizza in our carpark from 4pm till 8pm every Friday and Saturday.

Some of you may have noticed this lovely chess set in the front bar of the pub over the last year ♟️

It gets used by many of our regular customers on a daily basis, which is exactly why we love having it there ☺️

Unfortunately, at some point yesterday, two of the pieces went missing 😢

This chess set holds a huge amount of sentimental value to myself and my wife Lindsey, as we bought it on our very first holiday together over 25 years ago ❤️

If the pieces were taken as a joke or a “beer trophy”, please do the right thing and return them. No questions will be asked.

Thank you,
Lee

⚽️ WHO WILL SURVIVE? ⚽️

The final day of the Premier League season is here and it all comes down to this…

Will Spurs do enough to stay up?
Or can West Ham pull off the great escape?

Tottenham go into the final day just two points above the drop zone, knowing a draw should be enough to survive, while West Ham must win and hope Spurs lose.

🔥 Tottenham v Everton
🔥 West Ham v Leeds United

Both games LIVE throughout the pub and on the BIG SCREEN in the garden KO 4pm 📺☀️

Catch every twist, every goal and every moment of final day drama at Springfields favourite local 🍻
